Mozilla Prism:Turn any website into a Desktop application

As most of the applications are started running on web such as Zoho office suite, Google docs or cloud computing apps etc, they are getting cluttered into a web browser and there is need to run every application into its own application window. The basic concept is to launch a Site Specific Browser and let the web application run inside its own window on desktop. If one application faults then it doesn’t take all other web apps down with it.

Now let see what Mozilla solves this problem. Mozilla labs has introduced application Mozilla Prism.

Prism is a Site Specific Browser (SSB) has tighter integration with OS and desktop than an typical web application running through a web browser. It is based on XULRunner, a runtime environment from Mozilla.
